Rice bucket method.

>>76495081 (OP)
Do exactly as Mike did (RIP).
Suck lots of cock and do lots of meth.
Don't knock til you try, and his results were undeniable.

Post forearms

Bumping this thread. Give me some knowledge. I do wrist curls, reverse wrist curls, reverse grip ez curls, but i'm a wristlet (7 inch wrists at 6'4) and my forearms look emaciated despite deadlifting 3.5pl8 for 5 reps and 10 reps of 1pl8 added weighted pullups

>>76495163
if that's true then why doesn't he look like other methheads? i've never in my whole life seen a swole meth addict.

>>76495163
when did mike suck cocks? that just sounds slanderous

>>76495081 (OP)
High volume and get fat.

>>76495203
Just do reverse curls and pull-ups.

>>76495203
There's like 6 gorillion muscles in your forearm. Doing basic movements like wrist curls and grippers won't hit all of them. Look for other grip/wrist/forearm exercises and movements to cook all 6 gorillion. Cycle through 2 or 3 different forearm exercises to failure during every workout. Never do the same workout twice in the same week.

>>76495212
I dunno, I'm just saying it because it sounds funny. Since it was 80s maybe just coke instead

>>76495212
There are plenty of drug addicts who you wouldn't know are drug addicts. Some people are just smart enough to know they need to recover from it before doing it again. Mike was big on recovery too.

Ramon did calisthenics before bodybuilders. But I bet is 99% genetics

>>76495644
This guy is on steroids

>>76495235
They're projecting Arnold "manboobs" fanboys.

>>76495761
And Mentzer's natty?

>>76495761
really? did you came up with this conclusion by yourself?? you so smart babe

Mentzer said that it was genetic.
if you train and still have small forearms then it's genetic.

>>76495212
I dont know if methhead is the appropriate name for them but meth was a common pre-workout back in the day.

gooning for 14 hours a day you need a big dick though so you work out both arms

I feel a lot of forearm burn with slow and controlled concentration curls with a full extension at the bottom (to the fingertips and curling it back into the palm)

I also do a lot of weighted dips and pull ups

>>76495203
What >>76495275 said but add some grip work to it. Personally, I like grippers and some of the training equipment climbers use (finger boards, those little rubber bands for stretching).

>>76496159

Generally accurate. Long muscle bellies are the number one factor to massive forearms. The more muscle you have vs tendon, the more there is to work with.

Same with calves. guys (blacks) with short muscle bellies can only ever hope for lollipop calves, not diamonds.

My forearm muscles start at the middle of my forearm. I have no muscles for like the first 4 inches from my wrist, and my wrist is tiny. I spam pullups, deadlifts, wrist curls, grip exercises, reverse curls, you name it, and i still get comments "wow your wrists are so small" I CAN'T FUCKING CHANGE MY WRISTS FUCK YOU I'M ALREADY INSECURE

>>76495086
>from gripping
Gripping heavy pulls.

>>76498464
Same, they insert super high up the arm. Even growing the forearm muscles looks stupid because they are so short. I also have exceptionally long forearms for my height, which obviously doesn't help. When I go to events or hotels and they put on the bracelet they often make comments or give me funny looks. I can't really wear any nice wrist watches either, because if the case is too big it just looks ridiculous.

>>76495081 (OP)
Same as any other muscle, if compounds aren't doing it you isolate it. If that's not enough, try to isolate every head in the muscle with its own exercise. Find the time if you care that much.

>>76495644
There's a very obvious body type that has thick limbs like forearms and calves just by default. If you dont have these genes, dont ever listen to those people: they likely have no clue what theyre doing because anything works for them. Life isn't fair.

>>thus was born "science based lifting"
Cuz not all of us won the lotto and can do anything.

>>76498464
if you do armwrestling the wrist will get bigger from all the tendon conditioning, but mostly the bottom part with the palm, not side to side

>>76498749
Yeah i did all the exercises armwrestlers do, and the inner side of my wrist where the tendons and ligaments are didnget bigger, but my peoblem has always been wrist width. 6'4 with 2.5 inches wide wrists lmao, i look absolutely rdlidiculous. And i have big hands so i look like i have mickey mouse hands. And people constantly comment on how small my wrists are, i'm very insecure about them and there is literally no way to grow them

>>76495081 (OP)
If you want actual physiological changes do compounds and not just classic deadlift bench OHP but try variations like deadlift from behind or doing bar shrugs, idk if zerchers help but you have to keep tension so i imagine they do
Otherwise if you just want the look and pump then do isolation like everyone

wrist roller

>>76495081 (OP)
Direct forearm work you tard it's not brain science

>>76495081 (OP)
I like doing farmer's carries and pronation exercises. Doing lat pulldowns without a thumbless grip wouldn't hurt either.

>>76495081 (OP)
Just go to >>>/r/ and jack off. BIG forearm gains.

>>76495203
How much can you curl? Strict dumbbell curl.

Bumping for chadlistenics forearm exercises

>>76501031
I don't do strict dumbbell curla, except incline amd hammers or crossbody curls, but i preacher curl 40kg on the ez bar.

>>76495086
What if I have problem grippin

According to Dorian Yates he never did forearm specific exercises, they just grew from all the pulling shit he did, back shit.

>>76501646
Can people stop giving advice to natty hobbyist gymgoers as if they are mr olympia level roiders? No shit one of the most prolific steroid abusers didn't have to do forearm exercises. But what about the other 99.9% percent of the population this doesn't apply to? You never hear Olympias or elite bodybuilders talk about forearm and neck exercises because these muscles are extremely receptive towards steroids.

>>76501646
this,
protip never ever do forearm exercises, theres no such thing. Attempting to do them can actually seriously fuck up your arms at even light weights.
All the growth happens as a secondary growth trigger of the primary exercises

>>76502207
Elite armwrestlers push their forearms to the limit and their arms aren't fucked up.

They've held world records in one-arm pullups before, some of them have strict curl world records while not training specifically for biceps. They also mog strongmen like Brian Shaw in grip without even training for it.

Same for rock climbers but on a smaller scale.
>>76501167
How many sets and reps do you do? Maybe try higher reps and volume. Armwrestlers trian their forearms everyday or every other day. They recover quickly.

>>76502219
Bodybuilders literally warn guys away from armwrestling if they want to bodybuild

>>76501178
Then train grip you fucking dork
>>76501646
Yates is right that if you work out at RPE 9-10 and squeeze the everloving fuck out of the bar you'll grow legit forearms. I don't think direct forearm training is really necessary but I think stuff like forearm rollers are really great if you insist on hitting it directly or maybe just incorporate stuff like farmers walks which are gonna hit all your yoke muscles + forearms

>>76502219
Lots of them have had muscle tears, tendon injuries, bone breaks or calcium buildup that prevents them from straightening their arms.

>>76495081 (OP)
steroids

>>76495081 (OP)
Lift heavy ass weights just like Mike. Mike had great forearm genes and built his forearms mostly from handling heavy barbells without straps. Dorian Yates was also a similarly gifted in forearms and got them the same way. If you have the genes for it, you won't have to train them directly. Roids help with that too.

If you don't have the genes for it regularly perform the following on an arm or back day:
>hammer curls
>wrist curls
>gripping--preferably with a hammer strength style grip machine though a barbell can be substituted for this purpose
These should get you the most if not all of the forearm size possible for you. Just a few sets of each at the end of the designated workouts.

Ignore memes like rice buckets. It's a cool warmup. But not a good exercise.
>>76495212
He wasn't on meth persay. He was on amphetamines like Adderall prescribed by a doctor. Mike started them to further his writing career because he was a workaholic and wanted to feel conscious all the time so he could work on his magazine. It had nothing to do with body building. Also the gay for pay thing was a myth made up by a faggot who wanted to be an internet personality.

>>76495086
Grip and tear

>>76495163
Motherfucker give me back my sides.

>>76495081 (OP)
What is the minimum number of reps required to stimulate growth?
